TARGET
The Project serves to challenge the students to apply their knowledge and skills on a real-life problem, in correspondence with a subset of the final qualifications. The project covers the following topics:
• The problem to be solved requires an understanding and active analysis of distinctive disciplines.
• The project will always include the step from a real-life problem to a more abstract representation of the problem.
• physical system: PN-plot, bode, step responses, linear/nonlinear; Control goals; Requirements: Stability, Offset, Settling time, Overshoot, Phase and gain margin; SISO/MIMO; system engineering
• Controller design: [analog] PID, lead, lag, anti-windup, smith predictor, bumpless transfer. [digital] Euler/Tustin, zoh, sampling, PWM, bang-bang. The problem analysis will result in a problem solution to be translated in such terms that conclusions can be drawn based on the extent the problem has been solved and objectives fulfilled.

CONTENT

The student can design and create an analog and/or digital feedback controller for linear physical system choosing appropriate techniques (applying anti-windup and bumpless transfer schemes, selecting resolution and sample rate).
The student can communicate (in written and oral form) core findings and defend choices made with colleagues and the wider public.
The student can communicate his project findings in a clear and structured manner with colleague, customers and the wider public in oral and written forms.
The student can reflect on his role in the project and on his professional development.

Dimensions of assessment:
- Applying knowledge and understanding (analyzing and defining problems, design of controllers, testing of controlled systems, conducting research)
- Making judgements (analyzing and defining problems, design of controllers, testing of controlled systems, conducting research)
- Communication (managing work processes, communication and collaboration)
- Learning skills (professional development)
